Prison awaits Nairobi minority whip Imwatok

Nairobi county assembly minority whip Peter Imwatok is having sleepless nights as he faces sentence in prison over alleged illegal possession of a firearm without a licence. The Makongeni MCA case is set to be ruled on August 24 2021. It all started when Milimani Law Court senior resident magistrate Carolyne Njagi found Imwatok with a case to answer after receiving testimonies from six witnesses presented by state prosecutor Winnie Moraa. The MCA is on his defence after the prosecution proved he was in his possession a firearm. 

Imwatok is facing four counts of illegal possession of a firearm and ammunitions and forging a firearms licence. He committed the offence on September 10 2017 at the junction of Lusaka and Enterprise Road in Galitos Restaurant, Industrial Area, Nairobi, where he was unlawfully found in possession of a Ceska pistol. The prosecution claims the ward representative was found with 13 rounds of live ammunition of 9mm caliber without a licence. The ODM MCA is further accused of forging a firearm certificate No7036. Imwatok has denied all the four counts and is out on a Sh200,000 bond with one surety of the same amount. He was also given an alternative cash bail of Sh50,000.
